A NEW BEGINNING

What are we Looking For? and How are we Looking?

How can we discover our full human potential, without using all of our potential abilities?

Using the same methods of perception and thought with which we built our one-sided civilisations, our beliefs, and our lives so far, can only result in more complexity.

So, even though i like the new-age idea of 'expanding consciousness', i'm critical of a lot of the methods of doing this.

The Animal Way

Cat touching spirit a la MichelangeloOneness, absorption, or the mystical experience of

presence is normally understood as a result of grace, long years of prayer, selflessness, moral living, and devotion.

But by using the senses as animals do – the panoramic active receptive awareness to change and movement happening here and now in our local environment – we can experience a degree of oneness, in a matter of days or weeks.

It is ridiculous to ignore this experience just because it divorces oneness from its normal religious context.

Just as it is blind for agnostics, atheists, and sceptics to reject the experience just because it reminds them of religion.

Panoramic sensing doesn't require any faith, any morality, codes of conduct, laws or commandments, forgiveness or belief. But there's no need to give up any other belief (unless it's so closed minded that it rejects what animals can teach us). It also doesn't involve any money, secret initiations, oaths of allegiance, or clever theories. Teachers can be found in every back garden and it can be learnt in a matter of days to weeks.

Initially, without the discipline in devotion and truth, many will turn this selfless experience into a new form of ego greed. But ultimately its influence is bound to increase selflessness, creativity, empathy, and help build wholesomeness.

Perhaps the continuous use of the panoramic mode would result in trance or a catatonic form of autism.

But by alternating between the focused and panoramic modes of sensing, as animals do, we can begin to experience a new perspective of what it means to be alive and real. A new depth of life and humanity.

This changes everything about heaven on earth.

It also changes everything about social and individual psychology in our modern society.

The Deeper Reality

Our panoramic sense of the world, AND an awareness of how it feels to see, hear, smell, and taste the body from the inside (see Chapters 6 and 7), are both undeveloped dimensions of knowing ourselves, of feeling real and 'I am this'.

They both add balance, and depth to our sense of self-identity. They both reduce the insecurity which leads to all our present day cultural problems (see Chapter 3).

And no-one's ever had a chance to try out both together, or if they did then they didn't record it anywhere, except possibly with some obscure references in ancient Buddhist texts (see Chapter 4). I started far too late in life... it needs younger people with experimental energy.

I can only imagine that all three – focusing, panoraming, and inner body sense – would establish a wonderful creative working relationship between the world inside every being and the world outside.
